Question

Pseudounipolar is another name for a(n) ______ neuron

Answer 1

A pseudounipolar neuron is another name for a pseudounipolar cell. Most sensory neurons are pseudounipolar.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pseudounipolar neuron is another name for a pseudounipolar cell. Pseudounipolar cells share characteristics with both unipolar and bipolar cells. They have a single process that extends from the soma, like a unipolar cell, but this process later branches into two distinct structures, like a bipolar cell. Most sensory neurons are pseudounipolar and have an axon that branches into two extensions: one connected to dendrites that receive sensory information and another that transmits this information to the spinal cord.
